seems like a bigger type of turbo. You might have some luck selling it and getting one that would suit your power and driving goals better. From the size and AR it seems like this turbo might spool late

youve got a pretty solid setup going for yourself there. My only suggestion is to ditch the bottle neck 2.36 greddy for something 2.5 or 3.0 to reduce the backpressure going to your turbo. It will gain you some power, and be less stress for your turbo.

how do you like the wilwoods? I really wanted a set this year but im just going to do new pads and rotors.

Thanks man, I have an electric cutout that dumps straight out of the down pipe when I want to get crazy. Otherwise on the freeway, the car sounds exactly the same as stock if not a little less noise due to the natural sound suppression from the turbo, and dynomat galore lol.

Wilwood brakes are awesome, they had a killer sale that ended on January 1st that I think will come back again! $499.00 for Calipers, Rotors, Pads, and SS brake lines! I thought it was pretty tough to beat that. The rotors are 12.19" and are difficult to fit with 16" Rims, it was so close that the balancing weights wouldn't even fit past the caliper.

depends on what your goals are

I saw that sale, and it was that reason why I really wanted to get them, but I opted for a more efficient turbo setup instead. Now I gotta worry about stopping :lol:

Thats my goal, for now, and i decided to fully build my bottom end to be safe. If your motor is healthy you last a while depending on the quality of your tune.
Better to be safe than sorry IMO
